Notes
- Rutgers 25 runs are a tournament record.
gollark: This may be a novel field of research in need of investigation.
gollark: So if we use that posts' claim that 10000 bees occupy 6300cm³ and a random website's that bees weigh about 0.1g each, bees have a density of 159kg/m³, which is less than water. That sounds wrong.
gollark: I doubt it, bees are self-replicating.
gollark: https://www.reddit.com/r/bees/comments/5kf5lz/urgent_what_is_the_volume_of_10000_western_honey/ seems to have some information, though.
gollark: This random website says bees weigh about 0.1g, but Wikipedia only provides information on bee length, not volume.
